Short, sweet and to the point: we have a new URL – www.SlowBikeMiami.com The truth is we bike all around Miami, even if we live in Miami Beach, so it makes sense to expand our scope to the entity that is Miami (including all the cities). The new URL should make it easy for people [...]
Due to dealing with family issues that had me spending a lot of time in Puerto Rico, I’ve not been on the bike almost at all this year (attending the last Bike Miami Days in May being the big exception). That changes today. I’m heading out now to Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami to attend [...]
My 3-year-old nephew came to stay with us for a week, and my wife got him a proper bike. We saw his “bike” at home in Orlando, an old tricycle he got when he turned 2, and it was just not working for him; his legs are now too long, so he couldn’t pedal well, [...]
As being reported on cycling blogs all over the Miami area, Bike Miami Days has set its date for the third event.

I just got back from a 10-day trip to Seattle, land of many hills and even more bikes. Seriously, people talk about Portland as a mecca for cyclists, but Seattle doesn’t stay far behind. At any time of the day one can see cyclists going about their business all over the city and outlying areas, [...]
I have joined Metblogs, a network of city-focused blogs for a number of metropolitan areas around the world. My friend Patricia is a contributor for the Seattle Metblogs and that kinda gave me the impetus to do the same in my own city. Given how the Miami Metblogs was downright suffering for lack of content [...]
It’s been a looong time since I last rode my bike, mostly due to the High Holy Days throughout the month of October. Last week I rode my bike to synagogue once, but this week I decided I was getting back to the routine of using it every day, and so far so good. This [...]
